As soon as I heard about this company I assumed they were linked to the left, just like the 0-care website contractor. Nothing will be found.

If the IRS was using MS Exchange then her own hard drive is of no importance. Does anyone know if this was the case?
They were using this product, which is for backing up MS Exchange.
Plus this IRS document refers to Exchange - http://www.irs.gov/irm/part1/irm_01-010-003.html
Of course it also says backups are required and some records are federal records.
Are you starting from scratch? Even though IRS is using MS, they are claiming they never had an intention to back up all email. Pretty much left to the users to handle.
That’s their story.
you can bet there is no trace left behind.
why didn’t the goofus investigator ask for this stuff to be impounded to start with.
That story (IRS explanation) is in direct violation of Federal Law.
If SonaSoft is advertising that they were the IRS Email archive service, yet they only kept 6 months worth of emails, they can be prosecuted for violation of the Federal Records Retention Act.
The IRS’s excuse is to claim they ignored the Records Retention Act at all levels, again a criminal violation.
I think we are on the edge of an abyss that could expose criminal activity all the way into the Oval Office.
Funny, I saw a report that the contract with Sonosoft HAD BEEN CANCELLED.
So, what is the truth. Did they get cancelled .. and if so, who in the govt has sent them a cease and desist order to preserve ALLLLLLLLL emails from the IRS or to the IRS ..!!
If not, I fear the same thing has already happened, and the destruction of documents could have already happened. SOMEBODY BETTER GO TO JAIL IF THIS DID OCCUR.
My best outcome would be a secret production of all the email which NSA has been collecting .. carried into the hearing room and placed in front of the those who have been called to testify. Of course, these would have been gone through - and the bombshell emails would have been removed .. ready to show to those who say .. move along, nothing to see here.
And .. if more of these emails are destroyed .. and we end up not able to prove all the horrible things done by the IRS .. I believe two things will happen .. Nov 2014 will be more of a blow-out than predicted .. and after that legislation will be forthcoming to TOTALL DEFUND THE IRS. FIRE ALL THE EMPLOYEES .. AND START OVER.
In fact, I’d like a repeal of the 16th Amendment.
The record at USASpending.gov verifies that the IRS had an annually renewed contract with Sonasoft at the time of the supposed loss of Lois Lerner’s emails, in June 2011. Patrick Howley beat me to the finish line to report (at TheDC) that the Sonasoft contract was terminated shortly afterward. The annual contract, which had been renewed in September 2010, expired without renewal on 31 August 2011. The IRS-Sonasoft relationship was severed altogether on 8 September 2011, with a de-obligation purchase order.
Sonasoft works for Microsoft SQL Server < — > Microsoft Exchange Server
So, to the extent that the IRS uses Sonasoft, it’s where the IRS is using Microsoft Exchange Server.
Using Sonasoft, the full e-mail message (stem to stern) is stored in a Microsoft SQL database (that is using a Hard Drive Array as the physical storage media), while a “stub” of the e-mail message is stored on a Microsoft Exchange Server, and the user sees that “stub” listed in the Outlook window on the user’s workplace computer.
The user has only to click on the “stub”, and the full message is downloaded ... Sonasoft- Microsoft SQL Server — > Microsoft Exchange Server — > user’s workplace computer — > Outlook program.
The Sonasoft sales pitch, is that the e-mail is always backed up, and the e-mail archive is always available ... instead of being on tapes stored away on shelves that have to be manually accessed for recovery. Also, because the complete corpus of the e-mail is not stored on the Microsoft Exchange Server, then the backup of the Microsoft Exchange Server uses less storage space, takes less time, and costs less.
Other backup software *could* back up the Microsoft Exchange Server itself, with all, or portions of, what it holds.
The Microsoft SQL Server collection of an organization’s e-mail, exists on a Hard Drive Array, and the matrix, in effect, of Sonasoft < — > Microsoft SQL Server < — > Hard Drive Array is replicated at least once, existing on some other Hard Drive Array at another geographic location.
To wit: The organization’s e-mail in full, exists on at least 2 Hard Drive Arrays, 1 ea. at different geo-locations, and it’s all live.
If at Hard Drive Array A, drive “A001” fails, then at Hard Drive Array B, the replication of “A001” ... being “B001” ... still has the data. One presumes, that the loss of “A001” does not take down with it, the remote “B001”.
The Sonasoft Way, is to always have at least an A and a B, but there is no limitation on having further replication: C, D ... and still keeping for long-term, some hard drives or tape drive media.
Still, we are given to understand, that if the IRS was using Sonasoft for maintaining Lerner’s e-mails, then BOTH A and B would have had to fail, in order to justify “the hard drive crashed, and thus ‘no e-mail.’” With the exception, that a command could delete all the e-mail, if a higher-up with policy authority allowed the command.
Something like that.

Chuckle chuckle. Freaky lookin guy.
I am about to burst your bubble.
0bama turned off the security features of his Campaigns Credit Card processing software. Millions flowed in from overseas unsecure accounts.
The crimes have piled up ever since.

Oh, I know that Holder won’t prosecute. But they still may be exposed.
And they're sticking to it.
